PAUSE! Before reading this, it is suggested that the story before this, "Oops I Did It Again!" is read completely for the best experience! PLAY!

I thought we would get mated right away, but that didn't happen. I understand that I've been gone for three years and all, but still, it's very disappointing. Especially now that I have to have dancing, speech, and manners lessons alongside training to use my powers, I am oh so very disappointed. I'm glad I got into some sports during those three years, but they are nothing compared to this! Every day, I go to bed worn out and beaten to a pulp. Don't get me started on the lactic acid fermentation that's going on through every part of my body. Some nights I just want to scream "LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION! DEAR GOD, MAKE IT STOP!" Other nights, like tonight, Rin runs into my room and throws her eleven year old body on me. I don't complain about how it hurts my body because I love the girl to death. I'm glad that she's staying with me instead of going to the village. That's a change I'm glad I brought on.

"Kazumi-san, let's go to the garden!" the young brunette said excitedly.

"Rin, it's almost dark. You know that Sesshomaru would be upset if you are not in bed by then." I told her as I lifted her off my torso and sat her on the bed next to me.

"Rin- I only want to see the sunset! Then I promise to come in and go to sleep. Please!"

"Rin…"

"Pretty, pretty please? Just this once?"

I shouldn't have looked in her eyes. I'm weak when it comes to the puppy dog eyes. How can others stare into this face and say no?

"Fine, but only this on time. Next time is definitely no." I sighed.

"Yeah! We need to hurry or else we'll miss it!"

Rin took my hand and started to fast walk, bringing me along. Color me impressed when I saw her in action. She knew the manor like the back of her hand, taking the least walked hallways (the ones I didn't know existed), slipping to different halls when someone came onto the one we were on, and never losing her way. She even managed to lose two of the guards that saw us. Exactly how long has she been doing this? At this point she seemed to be a professional at this. She was so stealthy, she really could be a ninja…

We went up a hill in the garden and sat in front of the only tree on it. We were able to see the entire garden (which was much bigger than I remember), the manor, and some of the village, which seemed to be decorating for something.

"Kazumi-san, do you see that big part of the garden?" Rin asked me as she pointed to the large amount of land to my left. "Lord Sesshomaru made that a garden in memory of you when you left. We were both really sad, and so Lord Sesshomaru made it so we would never forget you."

That explains why the garden is much bigger than I remember. After looking at it longer, Rin's words replayed in my mind. They had built a memory garden for me. I had left that much hurt on both of them, and I feel bad for it. At the same time, it warms my heart. The stoic and inflexible Lord of the Western Lands had missed me.

"You should not speak of things so easily." Sesshomaru said, startling the color out of my skin.

It came back as quickly as it left as Rin laughed.

"Why are you not in bed?" he asked both of us.

"Rin wanted to see the sunset with Kazumi-san."

That third-person speaking habit is going to go away easily. I patted the ground next to me, and Sesshomaru sat there. I leaned against his shoulder and gazed at my memory garden. I'll have to change the name since I'm not dead. Having just the three of us there made the moment that much more special. It felt as though we were family, and after all the crap we've been through, we might as well be. Actually, in a couple of months, we will be (I consider the word "ward" as "daughter" when it comes to Sessho and Rin). Honestly, I can't wait, but from what I've heard, it's going to hell for a bit. Demonesses can get feisty, but I've been to high school. I think I can handle it, and if I can't they can take their complaints to my fists. Okay, maybe not my fists… definitely not my fists, I know when I'll lose a fight… not that I've ever lost one… okay, to be honest, I've never been in a fist fight outside of Skyrim and The Sims. You know what, scratch that, if they have complaints, they can take them to Sesshomaru. I should have just said that to begin with.

A/N: I'mmmmmmmmmmmm baaaaaaaacccccccckkk! Geez, it's been like two months. Blame it on all the school work! There is no reason I should come home at 4 o'clock p.m. and work 'till 12 a.m., just to wake up at 5 a.m. to finish! Anyway, hope you enjoyed, hopefully I'll be putting chapters up periodically!
